The devilsome duo pt 4
The Captain’s crew ambled over to the nearest tavern to get some rum, when Jack and Nate crept over to the twisted gangway. They edged onto the ship, sneaked across the decking and into the Captain’s quarters. They walked over to the Captain’s desk and opened all of the drawers to find any piece of information about the Captain. In the darkness of the unlit room there was a flash of a sword and an “AAARRGGGHHHH!” Jack and Nate stood immobile from fear, when a ‘schwing’ from a sword came slashing right next to Jack’s head.
I love that you describe the flash of the sword and the sound it makes before we even see it. Great suspense.
